So who locally is going to make the royal purple. Have been the last 6 -7 years but never actually made the run. We end up staying at prop stop all day and watching the wet t no t contest. Looks like we are going to the capt's party in Baton Rouge. Lea's birthday is that friday so we're trying to plan a good time.

was wondering what yall thought about the run? I felt the quality of boats were way down from years past or the tf 200! Also since propstop reserved all the spots on the dock the party on land was not the same. Dock was empty till 4;oo when boats came back, last year only half the spots were reserved which made the party better. Only my 2 cents!

Reportedly, there were some boats that came in from Florida and weren't aware of the reserved parking spots. When they heard about it, they loaded up and went home. Again, only what I heard. We didn't get on the water till late and then just rode over to Slidell and grabbed some grub and a few drinks at The Dock. But, from the boats I saw, quality and numbers were definitely down overall.

John, Thanks for the hospitality. I enjoyed the run with you guys!! Looked at my GPS map yesterday and we went all over with an odometer reading of 165 miles.
Went to Madisonville on Sunday and ate at Morton's for Father's day. Spent some time on the beach and went home. Got back to LC at 7pm.

It didn't look like there were very many boats on the Royal Purple to me. We were at Blind River when they came through. We did have fun in Marepas with the boats coming back to the prop stop!! Thunderstruck ran well.

Do you have a flyer or anything info you can email me on the Calc Boat Club poker run? I'd like to circulate it at the next meeting, see if we can get a decent size group to trailer over for it.
